Holocene lake sediments from the Faiyum Oasis in Egypt: a record of environmental and climate change

Abstract: , J. 2018 (January): Holocene lake sediments from the Faiyum Oasis in Egypt: a record of environmental and climate change. Boreas, Vol. 47,.1111/bor.12251. ISSN 0300-9483.The Qarun Lake in the Faiyum Oasis (Egypt) provides a unique record of Holocene environmental and climate change in an arid area largely devoid of fossil proxy records. Multiple lithological, palaeontological and geochemical proxies and 32 radiocarbon dates from the 26-m-long core FA-1 provide a time series of the lake's transformation. Our r… Show more

“…shows an increase in aridity and dust supply, as shown by several proxies (Marks et al, 2018). In north-eastern Africa, there is further evidence of climate change at about 4.2 cal ka BP associated to the collapse of the ancient Old Kingdom in Egypt (Welc and Marks, 2014, and reference therein).…”

“…1, 9). In Qarun, the interval between approximately 4.4 and 4.0 ka shows an increase in aridity and dust supply, as shown by several proxies (Marks et al, 2018). In northeastern Africa, there is further evidence of climate change at about 4.2 ka associated with the collapse of the ancient Old Kingdom in Egypt (Welc and Marks, 2014, and references therein).…”

“…8.4-6.2 ka cal. BP, sediment flowed into the Fayum Basin from terrigenous material during the winter, probably from wadi systems (Flower et al 2012;Marks et al 2016Marks et al , 2018. The influence of the wadi systems on the ancient level of the larger Lake Qarun is unknown but is not likely to have influenced the lake level as much as inflow from the Nile.…”
